Registration to sign-up for winter football opens early January each year and we can help you if you’re not sure how to find the right club for you.
Read on below to find a step-by-step guide on how to find your new home.
There are leagues to suit all levels of football: from elite players playing in the Grace Martin Trophy, U19s playing in WIL, all the way to Division 6 which caters for women who want a less intense competition (great for beginners and slower players).
There are also over age leagues for those who are 35 years or older.
